[quote:e6750a4f4b="spiky"]When I was born their was a big thing in the paper about how I was born on the 8th of the 8th 78, weighing 8 pounds 8.

Apparently that makes me special. I don't get it.[/quote:e6750a4f4b]

Tis the dreaded number.
Octavo anyone?

Edit: Isn't 8th of 8th of 8th a sourcerer? Not exactly the same pattern though.
